"Strange fruit hanging

From the poplar trees

Blood on the leaves"

-Kanye West

Sam didn't understand why he woke up feeling like his stomach was in knots, like something bad was going to happen today. Nothing was out of the ordinary but TJ always told him to rely on his instincts. The stench of leech was heavy in the air as he made his rounds on patrol. When he got to the treaty line he saw a small pixie like vampire and Paul growling at her.

"I saw a vision of TJ." Paul snarled at the sound of his imprint's name, not like the way it fell from the blood suckers lips.

"She's in danger."

TJ hadn't been to the boxing gym as much as she would like to. Even though she was acing all of her classes her parents wanted her to focus more on her studies, so she had to take a step back from boxing. They didn't often ask anything of her so she didn't mind listening to them. This evening she had been asked to teach a boxing class to the 12-15 year olds since Colin was sick.

"Great job guys, Colin will be back on Friday."

Class was dismissed. Since not many people came to train on Wednesdays, she was in charge of locking up the gym when the last person left. Ron had trusted her with keys since she turned 16 so she tried to train more when the gym was closed.

When the last person finally left at around 9pm there was a stillness in the air that she couldn't put her finger on. The hairs on the back in her neck stood up as she walked to Sam's truck, so she listened. It was faint but she could feel a change in the winds direction.

"Not sure what you're after but come out unless you want me to hurt you." She said into the air.

"You hurt me? Ha." An airy voice said.

In front of her stood a red headed vampire, if her pale skin was anything to go by. Unlike the Cullens, this vampire had bright red eyes.

"You smell strange, not like other humans. Your blood must taste divine." She purred.

The second she lifted her foot, she was in front of TJ but before she could even touch her TJ punched her in the face. The vampire flew back and flipped to land on her feet, grinning. "I like a challenge."

The redheaded vampire was quick and managed to make a few slashes at her arms. But TJ was giving her a run for her money.

"Mrs?" TJ turned her head to the side to see a bystander.

Victoria used this distraction to sink her teeth into her neck. She felt like her body was burning from the inside out and she screamed out. Her opposite hand latched on to the vampire's hair and ripped her from her body, feeling chunks of her flesh rip away too. She landed blow after blow to the vampires face. When she heard sirens in the distance the vampire knocked her off and ran away.

When the adrenaline wore off she felt the effects of the blood loss and clutched her neck. The stupid vampire had taken more blood than she thought. She couldn't let the police get to her, too many questions that she wouldn't have answers to. Against her better judgement she drove herself home, when she got into LaPush she could see wolves running alongside the truck.

Sam jumped out in front of his truck and she had to slam on her brakes to avoid hitting him. She stumbled out and Sam caught her before she could hit the ground.

"Stay with me Trinity!" He yelled, though he sounded far away to her.

Her blood was gushing out of her neck and she started to feel cold. Paul quickly shifted and threw some pants on before ripping her out of Sam's arms. He could see her eyes rolling to the back of her head.

"We have to get her to Sue!" Sam screamed.

They climbed in the car and Paul could hear her heart rate slow down and her breaths become shallow. Paul felt tears come to his eyes, he couldn't lose her.

They ignored an angry Leah and put TJ on the kitchen table once they reached the Clearwaters house.

"What happened?" Sue asked. She removed the blood soaked hoodie from her neck and was able to see two jagged puncture marks.
